<ul><li><strong>Target version</strong> changed from <i>Squeeze</i> to <i>2012-05</i></li></ul><p>Interesting, configuration seems to be easy and it is in the official Debian repositories. This is the tool Ubuntu uses on netbooks, so exactly what we need. Recently I had a look at the Openbox configuration file (the DDL window manager). It also has a feature to start windows fullscreen but this is unsure whether all windows, including dialog boxes, are started fullscreen or not. Ideally only application windows should be started fullscreen.</p>
<p>If we decide that Maximus is the tool we need, its configuration should be performed by the DDL package named doudoulinux-activities. Unless we let users decide whether they want this feature or not. In this case a new package, say doudoulinux-fullscreen, is needed.</p> Accessibility - Feature #544: automaximize / fullscreen of application windowshttp://team.doudoulinux.org/issues/544?journal_id=17852012-04-07T19:34:43ZJean-Michel Philippe

<ul></ul><p>Maximus should only be activated in DDL sessions indeed, thus at session start of fake DDL users, using GDM scripts (preferred) or user's session scripts. This way, if you install the DDL packages in a standard Debian system, normal users won't be annoyed by our window maximizing feature ;).</p>
Notes:
<ul>
<li>I checked Maximus source code and it seems to be just sending an F11 key event to the concerned application.</li>
<li>Some games may not respond to F11, we still need to use the <em>--fullscreen</em> option whenever available.</li>

<ul></ul><p>I believe their <em>undecorate</em> option is broken, this is why maximus does not do a job as good as F11 on standard applications (not games, I agree that this is great for games :) ). Maybe we should have a look at their <em>undecorate</em> process in the source code. However we can start by shipping it within DDL as is. To activate it, we can also divert the file <code>/etc/xdg/autostart/maximus-autostart.dektop</code> in order to allow it to be started in any session, not only Gnome. However this may be annoying for standards users.</p>
<p>NB: several apps should not be opened fullscreen, such as settings apps.</p> Accessibility - Feature #544: automaximize / fullscreen of application windowshttp://team.doudoulinux.org/issues/544?journal_id=18072012-04-21T13:29:30ZJean-Michel Philippe
